Bestselling and award-winning author Gina Iafrate has announced that her latest romantic fiction novel, Love And Betrayal, is now available in print and ebook form at Amazon. The novel is the third in the series, following The Professor's Daughter.
In Love And Betrayal, protagonist Gracy believes she has found true eternal love, but her married life turns disenchanting as her husband Alvaro breaks his vows. His unfaithfulness, influenced by greed, jealousy, and revenge, brings catastrophic consequences. Gracy's emotional journey of survival becomes challenging, but later in life, with the intervention of caring people, she finds love, peace, and support once more.
The Professor's Daughter is the sequel to Iafrate's first award-winning book, The English Professor. Set in Italy, this romantic fiction novel immerses readers in Gracy's life and her adventures in love. Gracy is the love child of an intense affair, taken from her dying mother and raised by her devastated father. After living in hiding to avoid mobsters who took her mother's life, they seek peace, but the professor's life ends. Grief-stricken, Gracy must overcome heartache and find her way across the ocean, where she finds love and affection, only to face further threats until her heart finds its home.
